Here I am :D As tuonelan said, I was on vacation in Norway, went to a festival with Eury. Had great time. But otherwise I am trying to stay off the internet a bit more often ;)

Initially it was intended as a trilogy. I don't know why and when Martin decided to bloat it out of proportion, but, honestly, I have stopped caring about books 6 & 7 for a while now. As far as I'm concerned, I will get some sort of closure via Game of Thrones and I probably will not even bother...

This is probably not the best book to rekindle one's love for fantasy. With all due respect, and as a somewhat keen fantasy fan, I daresay books 4 and 5 are rather tedious. I pre-ordered it on Kindle the other day. Should be available on June 1. BTW, I see the second part should also be...

I still have my cassette collection somewhere in the attic. I even still have a cassette player. But I am not buying new cassettes. It's a hipster thing now :D

Won a brand new bicycle today :D

For someone with a terrible cold who could barely speak, Tomi Joutsen put on a hell of a show tonight. It was my 14-th Amorphis show and I couldn't tell he was not in his best shape or that they've been on tour for a month already. Brilliant, as ever!

I'll let Poem surprise me. Hopefully it will be a pleasant surprise ;)

Textures. Because they're supporting Amorphis at the gig in Sofia on Saturday (there's some other band as well - Poem, or whatever, but I'm not bothering with them because I have a deep personal dislike for all things Greek, except the olives). So, apparently Textures use the font from "The...

The Amo gig in Sofia on April 2 sold out today :D

The strongest in what is now Bulgarian territory was 7.8 in 1904, in Krupnik, on the Struma fault. I think it is the strongest earthquake on record in Europe and has destroyed several villages and towns in the area. Sofia, which also lies on a major fault line, in the past has been hit by...

Nothing cool about earthquakes, imho. We get them relatively often and it's always scary as shit when I actually feel it. And there's no getting used to them :/

Looks like it won't be here in the next 8-10 days, according to the distributor. No point in ordering it from somewhere else - it's not gonna arrive faster and I am not willing to pay €10 for shipping. I'll just wait.

Oho!!! Niiiice!!! :D BTW, just checked the setlist for this leg. No Enemy At The Gates for me apparently :(

Still waiting for Skuggsjá to arrive at the local distributor. Will report on how it affects my cat later :D

Right! Summer holiday in Norway is booked. I'll be spending a few nights on a sailboat in the Oslo fjord, a few nights in a tent at the Midgardsblot festival and a few more nights in a penthouse in downtown Oslo. Sounds like a plan :D
